/usr/src and file permissions

["David J. Kanter" <djkanter@nwu.edu>]

I've created/moved my /usr/src to its own partition. However, I've noticed a
difference in the permissions between the old /usr/src (/usr/oldsrc) and the
new one, /usr/src.

drwxrwsr-x    4 root     src          1024 Oct 16 00:18 oldsrc
drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root         1024 Nov 14 12:33 src

Could someone explain the difference? I tried setting chmod g=+r+w+s
/usr/src, but that apparently didn't work.
